Production monitoring blog 21st march - 3rd april


Last week I filmed my advert and started to edit it roughly. Everything from filming went right and ran smoothly apart from the actors were difficult to control for retakes of shots, shadows also became a problem. I used basic camera cinematography skills such as point of view shots, close ups etc...

Targets for this week:
Throughout all this week I will be focusing on editing my film until it is completed. I will do this by spending each lesson that I have this week in media editing I have to make sure that my computer is free for usage so that I do not have to waste time in starting anew.  The skills I will have to use are that of what I learned when learning to edit films such as things like what cuts are more effective to use or what if the chrome key will be effective to the audience. 

Possible contingencies:
I have to edit my film to complete it but problems that I may encounter are that of losing my work as it may not have saved properly to my disk or maybe not being able to get onto my computer for other people using it or it may be broken and I would have to start over.  If these things happen I will make backups on my memory stick to go to another computer if the one is Brocken also I will make different copies of the film on the computer if the work gets lost from not being able to save it then I will have a later copy of it.

Production monitoring blog 14th March – 20th March:


Last week I completed my treatment to full detail in which I planned and I also managed to complete my location recce but it is missing one picture which can be gathered in no it will be put into it when we get our folders back. I completed my storyboard too so I am ready to film my advert. I booked out a camera for the weekend successfully ready filming, but I did not manage to film as Saturday there was problems and on the Sunday my actors did not turn up.

Targets for this week:
For this week I plan to have filmed by Wednesday and also mostly edited by Friday as well as knowing what song to use in the background. I will have to have good planning skills to get my actors together to make sure that they come on the day and also need good camera handling and editing skills.

Possible contingencies:
I have to film my product on the Wednesday but the possible problems that I may encounter are that of my actors not turning up again or the weather being too bad to film in and will have to film yet another which does not give me that much time to edit the film. To avoid these problems I will check the weather for the Wednesday to make sure it is suitable and also I will make sure that the actors will turn up.
